Banana Wine

The Ramble: Doesn't it sound so tropical? For a long time I knew that people made banana wine, and I had even read some banana wine recipes, but I didn't think I would like it. Then the more I thought about it, the more I needed to try it, and the better it sounded to me. Plus, I got five pounds of bananas for free! One of the coolest things about this recipe is that you chop up the banana skins to get out their natural tannins. They can be used in other wines too, but beware, they may leave a hint of banana on the nose!

Well said! I have made a 5 gal batch of this every 10 years . this will be my 3rd.really like your reuse of a Plastic gallon jug. Clever!As a side bar note: you can use this banana wine to import mucho body in other wines that are insipid or too light bodied. instant Fixer blended into most any other wine! will NOT cause flavor changes.Slim49
